I tried
Quote From: irishmom First, LEAVE!! Get a restraining order (he will never be able to take your child away from you. That is his way of trying to intimidate you and too often it works). Go to your local welfare office and apply for foodstamps, financial aid, and daycare. Look up local women's shelters. Use the welfare system as a crutch until you find a job and get on your feet. That is what it is there for, not for people to live on the rest of their lives...which is another post altogether. Also, if you leave him, your children may come back into your life. Maybe you have family that can let you stay with them until you pick up the pieces? Heck, if you lived in my area, I'd take you in! I've been there, but the first and most important step is to leave and never look back! Do it now before he tricks you into marrying him! It could happen! The longer you stay in an abusive relationship, the more control he will gain over you. Think about it I went with my tail between my legs to th Dept of children & Family here in florida, what joke. I'm a 46 year old with a 4 year old, no formal education, no job, nothing to my name and they would not help me. I don't know the laws here in florida, but I do know that since we are not married I have no legal rights, he has informed me that if I try to go he will take my son or put a gun to my head. See I tried last year, and now I realy need to leave him. Where do I go from here?
